Bede volunteered to distract to distract the people coming in while the rest of the seekers got away. “It’s called Ponyta.” Bede answered smugly, while sending her out of her ball. “Isn’t she cute? I bet you’ve never seen a specimen like her in your life!” The man asked who he was, and Bede proudly answered in his usual way. “I am Bede. One of the best Pokémon Trainers in the Galar region! Fairy and Psychic type extraordinaire!”

But clearly this Benedict person was not here to listen about Bede bragging about himself. He wanted to know where the owner was. The two of them pretended to be customers shopping for Pokémon Food. This would definitely be helpful later. As soon as they didn’t hear any more noise from the back, Geralt fired an attack at Benedict, grabbed Bede, and hightailed it after. Bede would have complained about being grabbed so roughly, but he didn’t have time.

Once they got to the backroom, Bede jumped on Ponyta’s back and galloped out of there. “Ponyta, go! Now!”

The unicorn like Pokémon whinnied, and galloped as fast as her legs could take her.

They managed to dodge more G-Men along the way. When they arrived at the Trade Depot, Bede returned Ponyta to her ball, and Bede had to be hoisted up the wall like a ragdoll. Bede was less than amused, but kept it to himself.

They reunited with the others, but the reunion did not last long. They had to hitch a ride on one of the waiting trucks. Bede got on the roof of one of them, and for a moment, everything was calm. He had a discussion about Pokémon. Something Bede was more than happy to do. Bede was the one doing most of the talking though.

The peace was short lived, as they were pursued by Benedict, and more G-Men. Lovely. Geralt drew his bow, and fought them off while Bede assisted. By assisting, Bede sent out his new Alcremie. “Alcremie, use Decorate!” he pointed to Geralt. The cream Pokémon eyes went wide as she excitedly decorated Geralt with fruits, and dollops of colorful frosting. He now looked like a fruitcake, but his attacks would be stronger. Bede couldn’t help giggling at the sight of him.

Then the trumpeter attacked, and Bede sent out Ponyta, and jumped on her back once more. “Alcremie, use Aromatherapy for anyone that might need it. Ponyta, use Fairy Wind on that thing now!”

The Ponyta jumped in the air with Bede on top of her, and fired a pink wind attack from her mouth aimed at the Trumpeter.

“Absolutely! Surfing is my passion! The beach is practically my second home.” Conner answered with a big grin on his face. “I love catching the perfect wave, the sand beneath your feet, the hot guys in swimsuits. It’s the best!” Conner realized what he said, and laughed. “Aw yeah. You should probably know. I’m gay. It really shouldn’t be that big of a deal, but for some reason some dudes have a problem with it.” He shrugged.

The Secret World of Faeries

There I did something. I will add the color codes in a bit.

The Secret World of Faeries

“I don’t understand why you have to be here?” Conner complained. “Don’t you have things to do at your hoity toity school in New York?” As if he needed any more reminders of how perfect his sister was. She had everything, and now she had to come here and rub it in his face.

“I told you, I happened to be in town, and mom and dad asked me to tag along and keep you out of trouble.” She put her hand on his shoulder. “I’ll be in town for a while, so I’ll be here to watch your graduation ceremony. Mom and dad are busy, so they won’t be able to attend.”

Conner swatted her hand away. “Bah, but they dropped everything to watch you walk on the stage and get a rolled up piece of paper.” He scoffed and walked into the auditorium.

Arianna sighed and walked in after him. If only he understood how easy he had it. He didn’t have to live under every one’s microscope at every moment of the day. It was exhausting. Just as she had these thoughts, random teachers approached her to talk about how their star student was doing after her graduation.

—-

Conner had expected this presentation to be boring, but it turned out to be anything but. The Trash Pandas hacked the ceremony, and Conner laughed out loud during the whole thing. This made this stupid thing way more exciting. The principal was losing his shit.

Arianna felt bad for the principal and the speakers who had their speech interrupted by some egotistical teens. The music was loud and obnoxious too.

——

Conner and Arianna had differing opinions about this presentation of course. “That was awesome!”

“Obnoxious is what it was.” Arianna replied. “They couldn’t have found another venue to promote their band?”

“Come on Ari. Live a little. That… whatever it was boring as hell. That made the whole thing. That lead singer was hot too.” He had seen him around school before, but he was constantly surrounded by girls, he figured he was straight. Doesn’t mean he couldn’t admire from afar.

Arianna rolled her eyes. “Whatever. Let’s just go home.”

The two siblings went home, but Conner didn’t stay home. He changed into his beach clothes, grabbed his surfboard and headed for the beach without his older sister in tow.

Arianna realized he had snuck out some time later, and followed him. If he got into trouble, both of them would never hear the end of it from their parents.

——

Conner spent hours on the beach surfing. Out on the waves was the one place where he could truly be free. No parents, no annoying sister, just the perfect wave! He stayed on the beach for hours. He didn’t care about being out past curfew, he wasn’t in the mood to be home and hear his parents lecture him and praise his sister.

“How can this boy do this for hours?!” Arianna complained. Conner was very predictable. She knew where he was going. She didn’t bother stopping him, she just took the opportunity to relax on the beach for a while. As long as Conner didn’t hurt himself, everything was fine.

At 10:00 PM, Conner finally left the beach to go to a secret location. Arianna followed. “Now where is he going?”

Conner had gotten word from his friends about some secret party thing. Conner wouldn’t miss it for the world! This Mr. Dude person seemed awesome, but Arianna thought he was creepy. Why would some stranger host a party for a bunch of teenagers? Regardless, Arianna had to go in after him.

Inside was a like a nightclub with loud thumping music, and a real DJ. All the kids were dancing, but Arianna couldn’t help but find this whole situation weird. She sat at one of the tables, and kept an eye on her brother. If anything bad happened, she would have to be the big sister whether he liked it or not!

Meanwhile, Conner hit the dancefloor. During his time, Conner happened to lock eyes with Sully, and it wasn’t long before the two of them crossed paths on the dancefloor. “Hey Sully! Bro!” He made a hang loose gesture with his hand. “That show you and your band pulled off was awesome! Really made that boring presentation more exciting!” Conner shook Sully’s hand. “Name’s Conner by the way.”

The Secret World of Faeries

I need to finish my CSes.

Yu-Gi-Oh GX: Next Gen

“My name is Pine… Just Pine…” Pine began. “Maybe one day I’ll entrust you with my first name… Anyway, I like plants. It’s not just my chosen deck archetype, it’s my passion. I like to garden, and I like to read up on botany. Plants are fascinating. Beautiful, beneficial to the planet, sometimes deadly… I could go on and on… As for a fun fact about myself… frankly, I don’t think I’m that fun… Besides gardening I enjoy the basic teenage activities of playing video games and reading… But speaking of fun facts, did you know there’s a carnivorous plant in the Philippines that is capable of devouring a full-grown rat?”

Pine swore he heard some other students snickering by the time he was done with his introduction, but Kaison grinned and gave him a thumbs up. In Pine’s eyes, his was the only opinion that matered.

And then Melony had to go and ruin it by asking him on a date. Pine cursed under his breath. That brazen little hussy! He wanted to ask Kaison out first! He was starting daggers at her as she spoke.

—-

After Kaison’s and Melony’s date, the most ridiculous rumor spread around the school. Pine denied it, but of course, humans believed whatever they wanted to believe. Of course he got no end of rude comments from He was used to this nonsense. But it was things like this that made Pine believe plants were better than people… Kaison was the only good one… He was just oblivious.

That night, Pine was rudely awoken by a strange sensation. He looked out the window and saw the stormy atmosphere, and the geyser of light. He couldn’t explain it, but Pine felt the need to investigate what was going on. Pillars of light don’t exactly just show up out of the blue.

As it turned out, Kaison had been awoken too. Since neither of them could go back to sleep, they agreed to investigate together. Pine wasn’t about to turn down the opportunity to have a potentially romantic outing with his roommate. Even if these weren’t the circumstances he was hoping for…

Pokémon Knights

After her sparring session with Allan that was a lot more challenging than she expected for a simple practice session, Lillian was all warmed up. Professor Drachen gave the morning announcements, and then they were all split off into groups. The third years were all sent to the lake for mock battle training. She dutifully went along with the other third years to the lakeside. There was discussion of Full Contact Sparring. Lillian raised her hand. ”I beg your pardon Professor Okido, but how is this different from the sparring we were just doing?”

Voice

Musical Theme

Personality

Conner is a spontaneous and outgoing young man. He likes to have fun. His favorite activities are surfing, swimming, playing video games, and reading comic books. He enjoys socializing with others and being the center of attention. He is an handshaking, touching kind of guy. He openly expresses affection through hugs, holding hands, as well as stroking and grabbing shoulders. He particularly likes flirting with attractive guys. He makes friends easily, and will happily chat up strangers if they interest him somehow. He enjoys social situations, and believes that everyone else would too. He's likely to convince people who he perceives as being lonely to come along with things like 'come on, you'll enjoy it!' or 'you don't know what you're missing!' While he does need to spend time alone once in a while, he gets bored if he does it too long. He values all his relationships, and will happily stick with anyone he considers a friend.

He can often be found with a smile on his face, even during stressful situations. He often makes jokes, when the situation is tense to lift people's spirits. He may tease others in a 'playful' way, and expect them not to 'take it so seriously.' He does feel bad if somebody does actually get their feelings hurt by what he says. Sometimes his attempts at humor are read as him not taking the situation seriously. While he does joke around a lot, he is capable of getting things done. He just doesn't feel the need to be so dour about it. He often suggests that others not be so serious.

Conner enjoys showing off his skills for others in order to get praise. He is prone to bragging about the things he is good at. He does it in a 'look at this awesome thing I can do!' way, rather than an 'I'm better than you.' way.

He likes to live in the moment rather than dwelling on the past. This means Conner is not the best when it comes to organization, or planning. Due to his lack of planning ahead, it makes him impulsive, and he tends to jump into things without a second thought. He gets bored when he is not sufficiently stimulated, and will complain about being bored. He is also not the most tidy person. He does clean up his mess after the fact if it's pointed out to him, but he has trouble avoiding making a mess in the first place.

Growing up a member of a rich family that has high standards, and a seemingly perfect older sister has given him a number of insecurites. He’s always worried about not being good enough, and that he doesn’t belong anywhere. He feels like he has something to prove. He wants to have a purpose in life. He tries to hide his worries behind a mask of cheerfulness, but they’re always there. It manifests as envy torwards others he thinks are better than him.

Talents & Skills

Biography

Conner grew up in an upscale area of Los Angeles. Comner was the youngest son of the wealthy and prominent Waters family. His parents were quite strict, and they had high standards for their kids. Conner had an older sister named Arianna, and she was the the apple of the family’s eye, at least it appeared that way to Conner. She was beautiful, talented, intelligent, and it felt like she could do no wrong. To him, it always seemed like anything he could do she could do better.

In his teenage years, Conner gave up trying to live up to the high standards set by his sister. He only did just well enough in school to get by, and spent a lot of time slacking off. He would often act up in class, and get himself into trouble. There were days where he would cut class to go to the beach and surf. Surfing was one of his favorite activities. It was definitely something Arianna wouldn’t do. He enjoyed the thrill and adrenaline high of catching a big wave. That, and he also flirting with the hot guys in swimsuits on the beach.

He continued coasting through life trying to have as much fun as possible. Even though his grades weren’t the best, he was rather popular with other students, and had a few close friends. His parents wished he would put more effort into his studies, and better represent his family name, but Conner didn’t really care to try. His sister was obviously the shining star of the family, so why did they need him for?

He barely managed to graduate, and isn’t entirely sure he wants to go to college…
